Virat Kohli Returns to England Aiming for 2027 World Cup and Century MilestonesPreviousNext

Virat Kohli, after a challenging period marked by a decline in form during the 2022 England series and a break from international centuries since 2019, has regained his dominant performance in limited-overs cricket. Since his 71st international century at the 2022 Asia Cup, he has broken several records and aims for the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup title. Fans also anticipate his pursuit of Sachin Tendulkar's record of 100 international centuries as he returns to England.
